Time to take a closer look at the Women's 4x100m Freestyle Relay!
 
16.  Singapore - 4:07.44
Backstroke: Levenia Sim - 1:01.99 Breaststroke: Letitia Sim - 1:06.97 Butterfly: Jing Wen Quah - 59.30 Freestyle: Ching Hwee Gan - 1:00.68  
Unfortunately, Singapore was put into a tough situation for this relay. Ting Wen Quah (who has a best time of 55.82 in the 100m freestyle this year) was supposed to be on the medley relay when World Aquatics informed the Singapore Swim federation that Ching Hwee Gan had received an OCT invite to compete in the 800 and 1500m freestyles. However, they would have to leave off one of their current relay members. As such, Ting Wen Quah was the sacrificial lamb in all of this and Gan will be swimming the freestyle leg. However, looking at the rest of these rankings, it looks like it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Letitia Sim on the breaststroke leg is the only leg that really stands out.
 
15.  Hong Kong - 4:00.67
Backstroke: Stephanie Au - 1:00.68 Breaststroke: Siobhan Haughey - 1:05.92 Butterfly: Natalie Kan - 1:00.36 Freestyle: Hoi Lam Tam - 55.01  
Siobhan Haughey is has the best times from her nation in the breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle but for this relay, it looks like she'll be on the breaststroke leg. Hong Kong probably wishes they could clone her 3 more times. Like with Singapore, the breaststroke leg is the only leg that stands out.
 
14.  Denmark - 3:59.35
Backstroke: Schastine Tabor - 1:01.11 Breaststroke: Thea Blomsterberg - 1:07.17 Butterfly: Martine Damborg - 58.09 Freestyle: Signe Bro - 54.48  
Martine Damborg is a promising young butterfly talent and could drop more time. Thea Blomsterberg is a better 200m breaststroker but that 1:07.17 time is a PB from just a few months ago.
 
13.  Poland - 3:57.61
Backstroke: Adela Piskorska - 59.79 Breaststroke: Dominika Sztandera - 1:07.17 Butterfly: Paulina Peda - 58.14 Freestyle: Kornelia Fiedkiewicz - 54.01  
A little bit surprised to see Poland here. All of their legs either are under the OQT or just over it. Sztandera has been as quick as 1:06.42 on the breaststroke leg which would help shave off some time.
 
12.  Ireland - 3:56.88
Backstroke: Danielle Hill - 59.11 Breaststroke: Mona Mc Sharry - 1:06.11 Butterfly: Ellen Walshe - 58.07 Freestyle: Grace Davison - 55.09  
Ireland should have a good front half of the relay with Hill and Mc Sharry as both are ranked in the top 20 in the world in their strokes. Ellen Walshe should be decent on the butterfly leg but the freestyle leg is too weak compared to the other countries here.
 
11.  Germany - 3:56.60
Backstroke: Laura Riedemann - 1:00.96 Breaststroke: Anna Elendt - 1:06.81 Butterfly: Angelina Koehler - 56.11 Freestyle: Nina Holt - 54.22  
2024 World Champion Angelina Koehler is the standout name on this relay. Germany will also hope that Anna Elendt can get back to the form that won her bronze at the 2022 World Championships.
 
10.  Italy - 3:56.23
Backstroke: Margherita Panziera - 1:00.60 Breaststroke: Benedetta Pilato - 1:05.44 Butterfly: Costanza Cocconcelli - 57.77 Freestyle: Sofia Morini - 53.92  
Italy will feature 4 solid legs here highlighted by Benedetta Pilato on breaststroke who has the 5th fastest time this year. Margherita has been as quick as 58.92 in her career but hasn't been under a minute since 2022.
 
9.  France - 3:55.79
Backstroke: Emma Terebo - 58.79 Breaststroke: Charlotte Bonnet - 1:07.30 Butterfly: Marie Wattel - 57.49 Freestyle: Beryl Gastaldello - 53.71  
France has 3 very good legs here but the breaststroke is a big weakness. Charlotte Bonnet did split 1:06.49 at the 2022 European Championships. If she can replicate that, France should make the final.
 
8.  Japan - 3:55.01
Backstroke: Rio Shirai - 1:00.27 Breaststroke: Reona Aoki - 1:05.76 Butterfly: Mizuki Hirai - 56.33 Freestyle: Rikako Ikee - 54.15  
Thanks to a stunning 56.33 100m butterfly performance at a recent high school meet by Mizuki Hirai, Japan has moved into the top 8 in these rankings. She's the standout on this relay. Reona Aoki on breaststroke should also be a strength.
 
7.  Great Britain - 3:54.79
Backstroke: Kathleen Dawson - 59.74 Breaststroke: Angharad Evans - 1:05.54 Butterfly: Keanna MacInnes - 57.92 Freestyle: Anna Hopkin - 53.09  
The backstroke with the best time this year, Lauren Cox, failed to make the British team. However, the medley relay gets a big boost with the ascension of Angharad Evans in breaststroke. She's ranked 6th in the world this year. Butterfly will be a weakness compared to other teams but Anna Hopkin is a reliable freestyler.
 
6.  Sweden - 3:54.72
Backstroke: Hanna Rosvall - 1:00.88 Breaststroke: Sophie Hansson - 1:05.83 Butterfly: Louise Hansson - 56.94 Freestyle: Sarah Sjoestroem - 52.57  
Sarah Sjoestroem hasn't raced a 100m butterfly this year BUT even if we take her time from last year and swapped the swimmers around, it would still be slower than this current quartet. That's just how good Sjoestroem has been on freestyle this year. The potential for a medal has always been there for Sweden. Is this the year that all 4 swimmers finally put it together?
 
5.  Netherlands - 3:53.96
Backstroke: Kira Toussaint - 1:00.00 Breaststroke: Tes Schouten - 1:05.82 Butterfly: Tessa Giele - 57.38 Freestyle: Marrit Steenbergen - 52.26  
This is the team that everybody is sleeping on. Not a single person in the swimswam comments section thought the Dutch team could contend for a medal but if you look at the cumulative times, they are close to the team above them in the rankings which everyone says has a chance at a medal. Both Schouten and Steenbergen are elite at their strokes and Tessa Giele has made significant improvements on butterfly this year. Toussaint has been as quick as 58.65 in 2021. If she can at least get under a minute like she did last year, the Dutch team could challenge for a medal.
 
4.  Canada - 3:53.30
Backstroke: Kylie Masse - 57.94 Breaststroke: Sophie Angus - 1:06.66 Butterfly: Maggie Mac Neil - 56.54 Freestyle: Penny Oleksiak - 53.66  
3rd time in 3 women's relays that Canada has placed 4th in the power rankings. What to make of this relay? Maggie hasn't replicated her Tokyo performances since then but she's always clutch in relays. I would expect her to do well again here. After struggling last year, Kylie Masse has shown signs that she's back in form going 57.94 at Canadian Trials, her first time under 58 seconds since Tokyo. Penny Oleksiak is also slowly rounding into form. After being injured last year, she finally got under 54 seconds at Canadian Trials. If she can split in the 52 second range, that would be a big boost for this relay. And then there's the breaststroke leg. Always the weakness to this Canadian relay. There was excitement heading in to Olympic Trials with 3 swimmers having gone under the OQT during the qualification period but no one was under the OQT at trials. The good news is that Angus won the race and she's been the best relay breaststroker in the last year so hopefully she has another drop in her.
 
3.  Australia - 3:51.45
Backstroke: Kaylee McKeown - 57.41 Breaststroke: Ella Ramsay - 1:06.87 Butterfly: Emma McKeon - 56.40 Freestyle: Mollie O'Callaghan - 52.27  
Just like with Canada, Australia's weakness is also in the breaststroke leg. However, they have arguably the best 100m backstroker and freestyler to help make up for that weakness. It'll be interesting to see what kind of form Emma McKeon is here. She struggled at trials coming off an injury.
 
2.  China - 3:50.95
Backstroke: Wan Letian - 59.02 Breaststroke: Tang Qianting - 1:04.39 Butterfly: Zhang Yufei - 56.36 Freestyle: Yang Junxuan - 52.68  
China finished 4th at World Championships last year but they are primed to be on the podium this year. That's in large part thanks to the emergence of Tang Qianting on breaststroke who at Chinese trials, went 1:04.39 to become the 4th fastest performer of all time. Also at those trials, Yang Junxuan set a massive PB of 52.68 in the 100m freestyle. China's weakness will be on the backstroke leg. As long as they are 2 seconds or less behind the leaders, it should be enough ground for Tang to make up.
 
1.  United States - 3:48.80
Backstroke: Regan Smith - 57.13 Breaststroke: Lilly King - 1:05.43 Butterfly: Gretchen Walsh - 55.18 Freestyle: Kate Douglass - 52.56  
So on this relay, you have 3 current world record holders (of which two were set this year) + arguably the most talented/versatile swimmer in the world in Kate Douglass. Need I say more?

Table of what the medal table would look like strictly based off my rankings. Does not take account of seeding so is already wrong. Uzbekistan as you would expect are massive favourites to top the medal table here but given how Tokyo went for them they will know how volatile boxing often is. Kazakhstan are probably slight favourites to at least win the second most total medals but after that it is anyone's game really (well not quite anyone but). GB with a small and not particularly strong squad and no Russia mean the medal table will look very different to last time. Of course the actually medal table or even my predicted medal table will look very different to this, the point of this table is to assess the quality of countries' contingents and not to accurately predict their medal prospects.

Remember, for each country, I'm taking the top 4 eligible swimmers for each country and using their best times from 2024 to form a estimated relay time. 1.5 seconds will be subtracted from each cumulative time to account for reaction times.
 
*Please note that the order of swimmers is arranged from fastest to slowest times, NOT by predicted relay order.
 
16.  Lithuania - Undefined
Danas Rapsys - 1:44.96 Tomas Navikonis - 1:47.42 Tomas Lukminas - 1:48.22 Andrius Sidlauskas/Aleksas Savickas - NA  
Unfortunately, Lithuania was not granted an extra relay quota and will be forced to use one of their breaststrokers on this relay. Neither Sidlauskas or Savickas have a PB listed on their World Aquatics pages so there's no other choice but to put Lithuania last in these rankings.
 
15.  Switzerland - 7:16.48
Antonio Djakovic - 1:46.32 Nils Liess - 1:50.36 Tiago Behar - 1:50.49 Roman Mityukov - 1:50.81  
Both Nils Liess and Roman Mityukov have PBs in the 1:47 low range and could help Switzerland move up these rankings.
 
14.  Greece - 7:11.61
Dimitrios Markos - 1:46.46 Konstantinos Englezakis - 1:46.78 Panagiotis Bolanos - 1:49.36 Konstantinos Stamou - 1:50.51  
Both Andreas Vazaios and Dimitrios Negris (who isn't on the Olympic team) have faster times than Stamou this year but Stamou is required to be on a relay and this is the best opportunity for him.
 
13.  Canada - 7:10.26
Alexander Axon - 1:47.56 Patrick Hussey - 1:47.78 Lorne Wigginton - 1:47.93 Jeremy Bagshaw - 1:48.49  
By far the weakest Canadian relay although the times are slowly improving. Both Josh Liendo and Finlay Knox have faster times than Bagshaw this year but he's required to be on this relay.
 
12.  Israel - 7:09.62
Denis Loktev - 1:47.11 Bar Soloveychik - 1:47.28 Eitan Ben Shitrit - 1:47.67 Alexey Glivinskiy - 1:49.06  
Just like in the 4x100m freestyle relay, the Israeli's have not been able to match their times from last year. Denis Loktev had a time of 1:46.17 last year (that was under the OQT). Tomer Frankel and Gal Groumi were also both 1:46.90 and 1:47.39. They could also find themselves on this relay.
 
11.  Spain - 7:08.53
Cesar Castro - 1:46.46 Luis Dominguez - 1:47.02 Carlos Garach - 1:48.04 Ferran Julia - 1:48.51  
Probably won't be good enough to final but all 4 guys have set PBs this year. Definitely brighter days ahead for this relay.
 
10.  France - 7:06.72
Hadrien Salvan - 1:46.72 Yann Le Goff - 1:47.05 Wissam Yebba - 1:47.21 Roman Fuchs - 1:47.24  
Pretty disappointing to see France in 10th after they finished 4th at the 2023 World Championships. Salvan, Yebba, and Fuchs have all been in the 1:46 range before. Leon Marchand would give this relay a big boost if he decides to swim it. They might need him if they want to make the final.
 
9.  Brazil - 7:06.63
Guilherme Costa - 1:46.06 Murilo Sartori - 1:46.98 Fernando Scheffer - 1:47.42 Eduardo de Moraes - 1:47.67  
Guilherme Costa has looked great in the 200m freestyle this year but it's sad to see Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Fernando Scheffer only be as fast as 1:47.42 this year. He won't be able to defend his medal.
 
8.  Japan - 7:05.08
Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 1:45.29 Tatsuya Murasa - 1:46.59 Konosuke Yanagimoto - 1:46.84 Hidenari Mano - 1:47.86  
Katsuhiro Matsumoto is a very good 200m freestyler who's capable of going 1:44 at his best. Hidenari Mano was under the OQT at the Asian Games last year but has been a bit slower this year. Tatsuya Murasa could provide a big boost for this relay as he just went a 1:46.59 PB at a summer competition in Japan.
 
7.  Italy - 7:03.90
Alessandro Ragaini - 1:45.83 Filippo Megli - 1:45.91 Carlos D'Ambrosio - 1:46.78 Giovanni Caserta - 1:46.88  
The first relay on this list where all the swimmers are under 1:47. Italy's chances of medaling aren't the greatest but they have two 17 year olds in the relay (Ragaini and D'Ambrosio) that could drop some more time in Paris.
 
6.  Germany - 7:03.76
Lukas Martens - 1:44.14 Rafael Miroslaw - 1:45.84 Timo Sorgius - 1:47.55 Josha Salchow - 1:47.73  
Germany has two really strong legs with Martens and Miroslaw but then there's a big gap to their 3rd and 4th swimmers. They'll likely use their two best legs first to try to get among the leaders and hang on for a medal. Martens in particular has looked really impressive this year after recently switching his focus to the middle distances. A 1:43 leadoff would be a massive boost for Germany.
 
5.  China - 7:03.20
Pan Zhanle - 1:45.68 Ji Xinjie - 1:45.86 Zhang Zhanshuo - 1:46.28 Fei Liwei - 1:46.88  
Feel like China being in 5th is a bit deceiving. They won the 2024 World Championships and this quartet features 3/4 members of that relay. It feels like Pan Zhanle only being 1:45.68 is pretty slow for him considering that he's the world record holder in the 100m freestyle. His 1:43.90 split on that relay would prove that's the case. At 17 years old, Zhang Zhanshuo also has the ability to drop another chunk of time. Niu Guangsheng is also an option for this relay.
 
4.  South Korea - 7:02.73
Hwang Sunwoo - 1:44.75 Kim Woomin - 1:45.68 Lee Hojoon - 1:46.43 Kim Yeonghyeon - 1:47.37  
There are not many things I want more than to see South Korea win a medal in this event. They have 3 excellent legs (including Hwang Sunwoo who's easily in the top 5 200 freestylers in the world). The question will be who swims the 4th leg and can they produce a quick enough leg. Kim Yeonghyeon finished 4th at Korean Trials in 1:47.37 but that's his PB and he's still inexperienced. There's also Yang Jaehoon who has a PB of 1:46.83 leading off gold medal winning relay at the Asian Games but he only finished 6th at Korean Trials.
 
3.  Australia - 7:02.14
Maximillian Giuliani - 1:45.83 Kai Taylor - 1:45.89 Elijah Winnington - 1:45.90 Thomas Neill - 1:46.02  
Despite a slow race at Australian Trials, the Australians still find themselves in 3rd place in these rankings thanks to good performances at other competitions from Taylor and Winnington. It could be a struggle for all 4 legs to perform at their best but if they are, then Australia is definitely in the medal conversation. Kyle Chalmers could also appear on this relay as could Flynn Southam and Zac Incerti if they're in good form.
 
2.  United States - 6:59.76
Luke Hobson - 1:44.89 Chris Guiliano - 1:45.38 Kieran Smith - 1:45.39 Drew Kibler - 1:45.60  
The likely battle for gold should be between the US and the team ranked above them. Luke Hobson has established himself as a consistent 1:44 200m freestyler, Chris Guiliano has quickly emerged as the one of the best overall freestylers in the world and Kieran Smith and Drew Kibler are both consistent performers. Brooks Curry and Blake Pieroni are also possibilites on this relay.
 
1.  Great Britain - 6:58.31
Matt Richards - 1:44.69 Duncan Scott - 1:44.75 Tom Dean - 1:45.09 James Guy - 1:45.28  
If all 4 legs are firing, it's hard to see anyone beating this British Relay. Two guys in the 1:44 range and all guys under 1:45.30 is unreal. All 4 guys are also ranked in the top 9 in the world this year. Jack McMillan and Kieran Bird round out the rest of the relay swimmers but it's unlikely that they'll be used in the final.
 
 

Relay Power Rankings: Women's 4x100m Freestyle Relay
 
 
Other Power Rankings:
Men's 4x100m Freestyle Relay
Men's 4x100m Medley Relay
Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay
 
In today's power rankings, we take a closer look at how the women's 4x100m freestyle relay is shaping up. Based on the times by most swimmers, you will notice that the depth of the women's 100m freestyle is significantly lower than that of the men's 100m freestyle. It's for that reason that I've decided to keep the comments to a minimum for most of the countries.
 
Remember, for each country, I'm taking the top 4 eligible swimmers for each country and using their best times from 2024 to form a estimated relay time. 1.5 seconds will be subtracted from each cumulative time to account for reaction times.
 
*Please note that the order of swimmers is arranged from fastest to slowest times, NOT by predicted relay order.
**Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to keep the summaries for each country shorter from here on out. This took more time than I expected.
 
16.  Slovenia - 3:43.33
Neza Klancar - 53.96 Janja Segel - 55.08 Tjasa Pintar - 56.88 Katja Fain - 58.91  
Klancar should help give Slovenia a good start. Fain's best time is only 58.91 but she split 55.94 on the relay at 2024 World Championships so she could help knock down a couple seconds on the projected time. However, it wouldn't help move Slovenia up the power rankings.
 
15.  Ireland - 3:40.35
Grace Davison - 55.09 Danielle Hill - 55.17 Victoria Catterson - 55.44 Erin Riordan - 56.15  
14.  Hong Kong - 3:38.71
Siobhan Haughey - 52.55 Hoi Lam Tam - 55.01 Camille Cheng - 55.48 Natalie Kan - 57.17  
One of these things is not like the others .
 
13.  Denmark - 3:38.26
Signe Bro - 54.48 Elisabeth Ebbesen - 54.73 Julie Jensen - 55.15 Martine Damborg - 55.40  
Unfortunately, with the retirement of Pernille Blume and the decline of Signe Bro, Denmark likely won't be making the final like they did in Tokyo.
 
12.  Poland - 3:37.64
Kornelia Fiedkiewicz - 54.01 Kasia Wasick - 54.12 Zuzanna Famulok - 54.83 Julia Maik - 56.18  
If you remember from the 2024 World Championships, Poland was actually leading the relay after 3 legs. They have two good swimmers but the depth falls off after that.
 
11.  Brazil - 3:37.25
Stephanie Balduccini - 54.05 Ana Vieira - 54.45 Maria Costa - 54.99 Giovana Medeiros - 55.26  
10.  Hungary - 3:36.68
Nikolett Padar - 54.17 Minna Abraham - 54.28 Petra Senanszky - 54.79 Panna Ugrai - 54.94  
This is a young Hungarian relay that's made good strides this year. Their top 2 swimmers are still only 18 and have the ability to drop more time on their PBs that they've set this year.
 
9.  Great Britain - 3:35.74
Anna Hopkin - 53.09 Eva Okaro - 54.46 Freya Anderson - 54.59 Freya Colbert - 55.10  
Very shockingly, Great Britain finds itself in 9th place in these rankings. Anna Hopkin has looked great this year but the rest of the relay remains a question mark. If we look at their quartet that finished 4th at the 2023 World Championships, both Lucy Hope and Abbie Wood finished outside the top 4 at British Trials and Freya Anderson was well off her best finishing with a time of 54.59. If she's recovered from the glandular fever than was impacting her, that'll be a big boost for this relay.
 
8.  Italy - 3:35.46
Sofia Morini - 53.92 Chiara Tarantino - 54.05 Sara Curtis - 54.22 Emma Menicucci - 54.77  
This is another relay trending in the right direction with the top 3 swimmers all setting PBs this year and Meniccuci just 0.05 seconds off hers. Both Morini and Tarantino rank in the top 40 performers this year.
 
7.  Sweden - 3:34.78
Sarah Sjoestroem - 52.57 Michelle Coleman - 53.63 Louise Hansson - 55.00 Sofia Aastedt - 55.08  
The order of names you see above will likely be the order that Sweden uses in their relay. The story has always been the same for them: Let Sarah Sjoestroem get them out to a fast start and try to hang on. Unfortunately, that's never worked for them at a major long course meet. Will this finally be the year?
 
6.  Netherlands - 3:34.68
Marrit Steenbergen - 52.26 Sam van Nunen - 54.49 Tessa Giele - 54.71 Kim Busch - 54.72  
Thanks to the world leading time by Marrit Steenbergen, the Dutch relay finds itself 6th. Steenbergen will likely be able to close down a couple of swimmers on the anchor leg. Kira Toussaint is also another option for this relay considering she split 53.81 on their gold medal winning relay at 2024 World Championships. She could replace someone like Tessa Giele who will have to swim the 100m butterfly on the same day.
 
5.  France - 3:34.07
Marie Wattel - 53.61 Beryl Gastaldello - 53.71 Mary-Ambre Moluh - 54.08 Charlotte Bonnet - 54.17  
This is a solid relay that France possesses. Both Wattel and Gastaldello have gone under the Olympic qualification time in the qualification period and Moluh is only 18 years old coming off of a PB at French Trials. Now they just need Charlotte Bonnet to try to regain some of her old form when she set the french record in this event.
 
4.  Canada - 3:33.78
Penny Oleksiak - 53.66 Mary-Sophie Harvey - 53.71 Summer McIntosh - 53.90 Maggie Mac Neil - 54.01  
A perennial medalist in this relay just 2 years ago, Canada now finds itself on the outside looking in thanks to injuries to Penny Oleksiak and Taylor Ruck and Kayla Sanchez switching to the Philippines. Despite the improvements in times this year, many questions still remain. Penny Oleksiak is once again the #1 100 freestyler in the country. Can she keep improving her time to the 53 low or 52 range? Mary-Sophie Harvey is somehow entered in the 400m freestyle on the same day as this relay. Will she scratch the event or swim 400m of an event she has no chance of medaling in? Will the Canadian coaches risk using Summer McIntosh after swimming the 400m freestyle final? It didn't work well last year. What kind of form will Taylor Ruck be in? The one that split 53.26 on this relay at 2024 Worlds or the one that finished 4th at Canadian Trials in 54.47. Maggie Mac Neil will have the 100m butterfly on the same day but she's proven over her career that it hasn't been an issue for her at all.
 
3.  China - 3:30.97
Yang Junxuan - 52.68 Wu Qingfeng - 53.25 Zhang Yufei - 53.27 Cheng Yujie - 53.27  
There's a massive difference between Canada and China's projected times. China is now looking in good position to win a medal thanks in large part to Yang Junxuan setting a massive PB of 52.68 at Chinese Trials. Wu Qingfeng also set a PB this year after failing to break 54 seconds last year. Zhang Yufei has the 100m butterfly on the same day but she'll likely still swim this relay as their next two best swimmers this year, Li Bingjie and Yu Yiting, also have event conflicts on the same day.
 
2.  United States - 3:30.18
Kate Douglass - 52.56 Torri Huske - 52.90 Simone Manuel - 53.09 Gretchen Walsh - 53.13  
Does the US have any chance of beating Australia? Kate Douglass and Torri Huske setting PBs this year certainly helps and Simone Manuel returning to form will be a big boost as well. Gretchen Walsh's freestyle remains an unknown though. She only lead off the relay in 54.06 at the 2023 World Championships and despite breaking the 100m butterfly world record at US trials, she finished 3rd in the 100m freestyle in 53.13. If any of the top 4 are off form, Abbey Weitzeil and Erika Connolly would be the next women up but there's a large time gap between Walsh and their times so it feels like this top 4 is locked in for the final.
 
1.  Australia - 3:28.89
Mollie O'Callaghan - 52.27 Meg Harris - 52.52 Shayna Jack - 52.65 Bronte Campbell - 52.95  
Although the projected time is slower than their World Record time, Australia is still the favourite by a good margin. The 100m freestyle at Australian trials was slower than expected but the times were similar last year and they then proceeded to dominate so I'm not too worried. Other potential options for the relay final are Emma McKeon, Brianna Throssell and Olivia Wunsch.

Other Power Rankings:
Men's 4x100m Medley Relay
Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay
 
Welcome to another edition of the relay power rankings. Today, it's the men's 4x100m freestyle relay.
 
Remember, for each country, I'm taking the top 4 eligible swimmers for each country and using their best times from 2024 to form a estimated relay time. 1.5 seconds will be subtracted from each cumulative time to account for reaction times.
 
*Please note that the order of swimmers is arranged from fastest to slowest times, NOT by predicted relay order.
**Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to keep the summaries for each country shorter from here on out. This took more time than I expected.
 
16.  Israel - 3:17.14
Alexey Glivinskiy - 49.49 Denis Loktev - 49.5 Meiron Cheruti - 49.55 Eitan Ben Shitrit - 50.10  
The Israeli 4x100m freestyle relay is a bit of a mess right now. In fact, the top Israeli this year in this discipline, Gregg Lichinsky, wasn't even selected for the team. That's because he went 49.33 at a meet after Olympic Trials were over. However, there is a good chance that Tomer Frankel will slide into this relay instead of Eitan Ben Shitrit. Frankel has a best time of 48.18 from last year but hasn't recorded a 100 free time so far this year which is why he isn't listed above. Denis Loktev, Gal Cohen Groumi and Meiron Cheruti all recorded faster times last year at the Israeli Championships. If you take their combined times, they would move up to 14th place in the rankings so their is room for improvement.
 
15.  Sweden - 3:16.35
Bjoern Seeliger - 48.84 Robin Hanson - 49.27 Isak Eliasson - 49.82 Elias Persson - 49.92  
Another relay that's a bit of a mess is Sweden. The 3rd fastest Swede this year, Felix Jedbratt, was also not selected for the team.
 
14.  Greece - 3:14.96
Apostolos Christou - 48.82 Kristian Gkolomeev - 49.07 Andreas Vazaios - 49.26 Odyssefs Meladinis - 49.31  
Greece may also decide to use Panagiotis Bolanos or Stergios-Marios Bilas on this relay if they want to rest guys like Christou or Gkolomeev for their main events.
 
13.  Spain - 3:13.32
Sergio de Celis - 48.34 Luis Dominguez - 48.44 Cesar Castro - 48.86 Mario Molla - 49.18  
And here, we see our first swimmer on these rankings who achieved an OQT in the qualifying period. Spain will likely be hard pressed to make the final but this is a relay on the rise with all 4 men above already improving on their times from last year. Not a single Spaniard broke 49 seconds last year and 3 have done that this year already.
 
12.  Serbia - 3:12.68
Andrej Barna - 47.66 Velimir Stjepanovic - 47.99 Nikola Acin - 49.22 Justin Cvetkov - 49.31  
Andrej Barna has emerged as one of the best 100 freestylers in the world and Velimir Stjepanovic showed at the European Championships that he can still get it done leading off the gold medal winning relay in 47.99. It's likely that Serbia will start with these two and if that's the case, they should be among the leaders at the halfway point and with the potential open water for the other two swimmers, that might just be enough to get them into the final.
 
11.  Poland - 3:12.60
Mateusz Chowaniec - 48.45 Kamil Sieradzki - 48.48 Bartosz Piszczorowicz - 48.55 Dominik Dudys - 48.62  
Poland's projected quartet are all decent swimmers with very similar times ranging from 48.45 to 48.62. This is impressive from Poland considering that the fastest Polish swimmer last year was just 48.62 with Piszczorowicz having a full second drop from his 2023 time. The fastest swimmer in 2023 was Ksawery Masiuk and he could also be inserted into this relay. His PB is that 48.62 time and he's still 19 so another time drop could be in store.
 
10.  Brazil - 3:12.47
Guilherme Caribe - 47.95 Marcelo Chierighini - 48.41 Breno Correia - 48.78 Gabriel Santos - 48.83  
It's a solid quartet for Brazil they've regressed overall compared to last year. While Caribe has taken a step forward, Marcelo Chierighini was not able to replicate his 47.86 swim at last years trials and didn't even reach the qualifying time. His best time this year is 48.41. Victor Alcara, who went 48.56 at last years trials, failed to make the team. They seemed like a good bet to make the final last year but I'm not so sure this year.
 
9.  Germany - 3:12.29
Josha Salchow - 47.85 Peter Varjasi - 48.45 Rafael Miroslaw - 48.63 Lukas Martens - 48.86  
Germany has a new top 100 freestyler and his name is Josha Salchow. The 25 year old has made significant improvements every since he started to train in Australia improving his PB to 47.85. Peter Varjasi also set a PB this year at the German Championships and Lukas Martens is having a career year so far. If Miroslaw can come close to his 47 second form, Germany could challenge for a place in the top 6.
 
8.  Hungary - 3:12.22
Nandor Nemeth - 47.49 Kristof Milak - 48.26 Hubert Kos - 48.87 Szebasztian Szabo - 49.10  
Hungary is looking much improved this year. Nandor Nemeth is having a career year, Milak is back and Hubert Kos will likely be on this relay as well having massive upside. Szebasztian Szabo was as fast as 48.36 last year and will look to swim close to that time.
 
7.  Canada - 3:11.11
Josh Liendo - 47.55 Yuri Kisil - 48.19 Finlay Knox - 48.29 Javier Acevedo - 48.58  
This is Canada's best chance at getting a men's relay medal. Although the team lost Ruslan Gaziev due to a whereabouts failure suspension, Yuri Kisil has returned this year after being injured last year finishing in 2nd at trials near his PB. Josh Liendo is one of the best in the world and Finlay Knox has made significant improvements this year. The medal potential is there but it involves all 4 swimmers being at their best.
 
6.  Italy - 3:10.89
Alessandro Miressi - 47.72 Leonardo Deplano - 48.09 Manuel Frigo - 48.25 Lorenzo Zazzeri - 48.33  
While Miressi hasn't been as fast as his 47.54 from last year so far, the other 3 guys have all dropped at least 0.2 seconds from their time last year which bodes will for this relay. Thomas Ceccon could also be in the final having been as fast as 47.71 in his career.
 
5.  France - 3:10.49
Maxime Grousset - 47.33 Florent Manaudou - 47.90 Rafael Fente Damers - 48.14 Guillaume Guth - 48.62  
France will look to start off their home Olympics with a bang and this relay definitely has the potential to medal. Maxime Grousset is one of the best sprinters in the world, 33 year old Florent Manaudou just set a new PB of 47.90 and Rafael Fente Damers is the fastest junior so far this year. It's the 4th leg that holds them back a bit. Might we see Leon Marchand on this relay?
 
4.  Great Britain - 3:10.38
Matt Richards - 47.82 Duncan Scott - 47.92 Tom Dean - 47.94 Alex Cohoon - 48.20  
Surprised to see Great Britain down in 4th place but I guess the 100m freestyle final at trials wasn't as fast as everybody thought. Matt Richards has been as fast as 47.45 and Duncan Scott and Tom Dean have been known to produce great relay splits over their careers. Cohoon is still only 21 and could drop some more time.
 
3.  Australia - 3:10.33
Kyle Chalmers - 47.63 Kai Taylor - 48.01 William Yang - 48.08 Flynn Southam - 48.11  
Despite many Australians on Swimswam complaining that 100 free at trials was slow, Australia still finds itself at #3 in the rankings. Kyle Chalmers was notably dealing with back spasms at Australian Trials so if he's healthy here, he should be capable of a much faster time and he just happens to be one of the greatest relay performers ever. We've seen time and time again races where he brings the Australians from something like 5th place to the podium on the final leg.
 
2.  China - 3:09.82
Pan Zhanle - 46.80 Wang Haoyu - 48.06 Chen Juner - 48.13 Ji Xinjie - 48.33  
Thanks in most part to the world record holder, Pan Zhanle, China finds itself second in the rankings. Behind him is a slew of swimmers in the upper 48 range. Of those swimmers, Wang Haoyu has the biggest potential for a big drop as he's still only 18 years old. It'll be interesting to see where China decides to put Pan in the relay. He anchored the relay at 2023 World Championships but then lead off the relay at the 2024 World Championships where he would go on to set the current World Record.
 
1.  United States - 3:07.95
Jack Alexy - 47.08 Chris Guiliano - 47.25 Caeleb Dressel - 47.53 Hunter Armstrong - 47.59  
And blowing away the field in aggregate time is the US. There a lot of uncertainty about the American relay last year with some people even thinking they would miss the podium, but thanks to the return to form of Caeleb Dressel combined with the emergence of Jack Alexy and Chris Guiliano as elite 100 freestylers, the US now boasts a team capable of breaking the supersuited World Record. To give an idea of how deep this relay is, Hunter Armstrong is the 4th fastest American this year and still ranks 9th in the world.

Max Paris 2024 section officially added. It looks much better and much easier to navigate.
 

 

 
They also added the Modern Pentathlon Fencing btw.
 
(In other hand confirmed no Shooting Qualifiers, Archery Ranking Round and Kayak Cross Time Trial also only 1 general Sailing stream per day, means likely not all races will be televised) everything else from each court/piste/pitch/Table/Mat/Tatami/Apparatus/Athletics jumping/throwing site/etc...etc...  is there

*Please note that the order of swimmers is arranged from fastest to slowest times, NOT by predicted relay order.
 
16.  Austria - 3:33.17
Backstroke: Bernhard Reitshammer - 54.54 Valentin Bayer - 1:00.49 Butterfly: Simon Bucher - 51.28 Freestyle: Heiko Gigler - 48.36  
Not surprising to see Austria at the bottom of the rankings with Simon Bucher the only swimmer than had an OQT in the qualification period. Heiko Gigler is a decent option at freestyle but the other two legs drag this relay down.
 
15.  Ireland - 3:32.57
Backstroke: Conor Ferguson - 53.87 Breaststroke: Darragh Greene - 59.91 Butterfly: Max Mc Cusker - 51.90 Freestyle: Shane Ryan - 48.39  
Ireland actually doesn't have a single member of this relay that had an OQT in the stroke 100s during the qualification period. However, they were all just outside of their respective OQTs and that's enough to put them ahead of Austria here.
 
14.  Switzerland - 3:32.44
Backstroke: Roman Mityukov - 53.58 Breaststroke: Jeremy Desplanches - 1:00.90 Butterfly: Noe Ponti - 50.16 Freestyle: Antonio Djakovic - 49.30  
Noe Ponti is one of the best butterfliers in the world (currently ranked 2nd this year) and Roman Mityukov is a decent backstroker. However, the breaststroke and freestyle legs are too much of a weakness to prevent this relay on moving further up in the rankings.
 
13.  South Korea - 3:32.01
Backstroke: Lee Juho - 53.81 Breaststroke: Choi Dongyeol - 59.74 Butterfly: Kim Jihun - 52.05 Freestyle: Hwang Sunwoo - 47.91  
This relay definitely had the potential to be higher up in the rankings. Hwang Sunwoo is an elite freestyler. Lee Juho has been as quick as 53.32 in his career and Choi Dongyeol has been as quick as 59.28 but neither one has found their best form this year. It's a shame that Kim Youngbeom wasn't selected for the Olympic team. He recently broke the Korean 100m butterfly record in a time of 51.65 (a few months after the team selection).
 
12.  Spain - 3:31.41
Backstroke: Hugo Gonzalez - 52.70 Breaststroke: Carles Coll - 1:00.39 Butterfly: Mario Molla - 51.48 Freestyle: Sergio de Celis - 48.34  
Hugo Gonzalez has established himself as an elite backstroker and Mario Moll and Sergio Celis should provide decent legs. The breaststroke leg needs to be the difference maker if Spain wants a chance to make the final.
 
11.  Japan - 3:31.16
Backstroke: Riku Matsuyama - 53.72 Breaststroke: Taku Taniguchi - 59.43 Butterfly: Naoki Mizunuma - 51.23 Freestyle: Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 48.28  
Here, we have our first relay where all 4 swimmers were under their respective OQTs. However, there aren't any standout legs which is why they rank 11th here. Naoki Mizunuma has the highest world rank of the 4 swimmers at 19th in the 100m butterfly. Katsuhiro Matsumoto actually ranks 12th but the relay add up time is faster with him at freestyle.
 
10.  Canada - 3:30.89
Backstroke: Blake Tierney - 53.48 Breaststroke: Finlay Knox - 1:00.66 Butterfly: Josh Liendo - 50.06 Freestyle: Yuri Kisil - 48.19  
Josh Liendo is the big star here and will be expected to be the difference maker in this relay. Blake Tierney is greatly improving in the backstroke and Yuri Kisil is a decent option at freestyle. Like with most Canadian medley relays, breaststroke is the biggest weakness here. Finlay Knox will be expected to take the role and given his rapid improvement this year in the 200 IM, it's not out of the question for him to drop more time.
 
9.  Poland - 3:30.60
Backstroke: Ksawery Masiuk - 53.09 Breaststroke: Jan Kalusowski - 59.58 Butterfly: Jakub Majerski - 50.98 Freestyle: Mateusz Chowaniec - 48.45  
Poland might have the most underrated medley relay of any team. Jakub Majerski has improved greatly this season and ranks 12th in the world in the 100m butterfly. Ksawery Masiuk also ranks in the top 20 in the 100m backstroke this year and is still a teenager. Kalusowski and Chowaniec have times just outside the OQT in their respective events.
 
8.  Netherlands - 3:30.21
Backstroke: Kai van Westering - 53.80 Breaststroke: Arno Kamminga - 58.87 Butterfly: Nyls Korstanje - 50.90 Freestyle: Sean Niewold - 48.14  
With the addition of Kai van Westering and the emergence of Sean Niewold, the Netherlands will be a contender to make the final. They'll likely join Arno Kamminga (or Caspar Corbeau) and Nyls Korstanje on the relay who are both top 10 in the world in their respective events.
 
7.  Germany - 3:30.18
Backstroke: Ole Braunschweig - 53.48 Breaststroke: Melvin Imoudu - 58.84 Butterfly: Kaii Winkler - 51.51 Freestyle: Josha Salchow -47.85  
Germany is a country that's made great improvements in the medley relay this year. Josha Salchow has dropped more than a second off his freestyle time in 2023 to improve his PB to 47.85. Melvin Imoudu has had a breakout year and his breaststroke PB stands at 58.84 now. Germany was also able to get one of the top American prospects Kaii Winkler to join their team which will be a big boost on the butterfly leg. Ole Braunschweig should also have a decent backstroke leg.
 
6.  Italy - 3:29.55
Backstroke: Thomas Ceccon - 52.43 Breaststroke: Nicolo Martinenghi - 58.84 Butterfly: Alberto Razzetti - 52.06 Freestyle: Alessandro Miressi - 47.72  
It was only two years ago that Italy won an unexpected gold at the 2022 World Championships in this relay. With Thomas Ceccon, Nicolo Martinenghi and Alessandro Miressi, they have 3 elite swimmers which all rank in the top 12 in the world this year in their respective events. Not a single Italian hit the 51.67 OQT during the qualification period. Alberto Razzetti will likely be asked to do the butterfly leg. He's an world class IMer and 200m butterflyer but his 100m butterfly best time this year is only 52.06 and that just won't cut it against the other top nations. If he can drop some time, Italy could factor into the medals.
 
5.  Australia - 3:28.99
Backstroke: Isaac Cooper - 53.46 Breaststroke: Sam Williamson - 58.80 Butterfly: Matthew Temple - 50.60 Freestyle: Kyle Chalmers - 47.63  
Despite Kyle Chalmers only having a season best of 47.63, we all know he's going to be much faster than that in Paris. Arguably no one has been more clutch on relays than him so if Australia is within striking distance of a medal heading into the freestyle leg, they'll get it. Sam Williamson has had a breakthrough year going under 59 seconds for the first time in his career at the Australian Trials. That's turned a longtime Australian weakness into a possible strength this year. Matthew Temple, at his best, is an elite butterflier but he failed to break the 51 second barrier at Australian Trials. He's been as quick as 50.25 in his career so the Australians will be hoping he can be at that form in Paris. The big question mark will be on the backstroke leg where Isaac Cooper has the fastest time this year at 53.46. He'll need to be faster if Australia wants to contend for the medals.
 
4.  France - 3:28.93
Backstroke: Mewen Tomac - 52.88 Breaststroke: Leon Marchand - 59.06 Butterfly: Maxime Grousset - 50.59 Freestyle: Florent Manaudou - 47.90  
Two impressive performances have helped vault France in the middle of medal contention. First, Leon Marchand set a monster PB in the 100m breaststroke going 59.06. Then at French Trials, Florent Manaudou set a PB in the 100m freestyle of 47.90. Add a top 12 backstroker + the reigning 100m butterfly world champion to the mix and you've got a really good relay. You can make an argument of putting Grousset on the freestyle leg and Clement Secchi on the butterfly leg but I did the math and based on their season bests, putting Grousset and Manadou in the relay makes the relay faster by 0.01 seconds.
 
3.  Great Britain - 3:28.67
Backstroke: Ollie Morgan - 52.70 Breaststroke: Adam Peaty - 57.94 Butterfly: Joe Litchfield - 51.71 Freestyle: Matt Richards - 47.82  
At British Trials, we got to see both the return to form of Adam Peaty and the emergence of Ollie Morgan as one of the best backstrokers in the world. It was after those swims that everyone thought the British medley relay could contend for gold. After all, Matt Richards had also just come off of a finals appearance in the 100m freestyle at the 2023 World Championships. But then the 100m butterfly leg happened. Surprisingly, Jacob Peters, the best British butterflyer over the past two years failed to make the Olympic Team and the race was won by Joe Litchfield in a pedestrian time of 51.71. Whether or not they will use Litchfield or clutch relay performer James Guy remains to be seen but either way, the butterfly leg will be the biggest difference maker for Great Britain.
 
2.  China - 3:27.13
Backstroke: Xu Jiayu - 52.39 Breaststroke: Qin Haiyang - 58.24 Butterfly: Wang Changhao - 51.20 Freestyle: Pan Zhanle - 46.80  
Speaking of a key butterfly leg, China will also need one. China currently boasts the 4th ranked 100m backstroker in the world, the 2nd ranked 100m breaststroker in the world, and the top ranked 100m freestyler in the world who just broke the world record at the 2024 World Championships. Wang Changhao will likely be relied on for the butterfly leg. He's just coming off setting a PB at Chinese Olympic Trials and ranks 18th in the world this year. If he can stay in touch with Caeleb Dressel, they'll have the World Record holder, Pan Zhanle, to bring them home.
 
1.  United States - 3:26.56
Backstroke: Ryan Murphy - 52.22 Breaststroke: Nic Fink - 58.57 Butterfly: Caeleb Dressel - 50.19 Freestyle: Jack Alexy - 47.08  
Not surprisingly, the team that everybody will be chasing is the US, who has won every edition of this relay in Olympic history that they've competed in. There are no clear weaknesses on this team. So far this year, Ryan Murphy ranks 1st in the world in the 100m backstroke, Nic Fink ranks 3rd in the 100m breaststroke, Caeleb Dressel ranks 3rd in the 100m butterfly, and Jack Alexy ranks 3rd in the 100m freestyle.

why?
 
13 out of 16 spots in each and every relay event will be awarded next year in Doha 
 
only the teams winning a medal qualify through this championship...and for  frankly that would be impossible in any case 

To anyone reading this, is it okay if we wait until meets are over to post all qualified athletes? Harder to find information when it's all scattered out.

I have tried to make a excel document with a suitable format. I have send @rafalgorka this document some time ago, but I can also share it here. From day 3 and forward is the format I think works best. 
 
2024_olympics_schedule (2).xlsx
 
I also have an example how it would look as a PDF-document with some adjustment in the print-out options.
 
 2024_olympics_schedule (3).pdf
 
Both of these files/documents are only drafts and they still need adjustments.

Second medal in a row for me! Very happy for the result.
 
Congrats @valtellinaand @rafQ
